Remove pivot jamb with threshold. Drill six holes using a
3/16" drill bit. (Use a masonry bit for ceramic tile.)
Insert one screw anchor in each hole.
NOTE: When drilling into fiberglass or plastic walls, use a
1/8" drill bit and do not use screw anchors.

Subtract door panel width DW from length W in step 1. If
difference is from 1-3/4" to 3-1/8" use the minimum hole.
If difference is from 3-1/8" to 4-1/2" use maximum hole.
Insert one nylon pivot bushing in each of selected holes top
and bottom.

On side opposite pivot jamb, drill a 1/8" hole in threshold
located 5/8" from wall and 7/8" from flat edge of threshold.
Fasten positioning spacer to threshold using one #8 x 1"
pan head screw.
For doors with narrow strikes (e.g. Model #804NS) position-
ing spacer is not necessary. Instead mark a line 7/8" in from
flat edge and parallel to it. Center adjustment rail over this
line when installing in step #12.

Temporarily secure threshold with masking tape at strike

Locate adjustment rail over positioning spacer and against
wall (you may reverse rail to mark holes). Use a level to
plumb adjustment rail.
Mark hole location of the large holes only. Remove rail. Drill
six 3/16" diameter holes then insert wall anchors.
